I had taken my dog outside at my backyard. I looked up the night sky during the clear sky with a moonlight. I saw one white orb light without blinking. It was hovering slowing toward south for 5 minutes then it was disappeared. I believe it was UFO.

Went outside to take a night photo of my yard with iPhone 11 and a tripod. Hear a very loud HC coming from a distance and looked up to see it pass low over the tree-line. That is when I saw two additional objects bright white, quite a ways up in the night sky. I did not think to much of them, as I figured they were satellites, but they started to move erratically. I noticed another 4-5 in the sky. Some had to be closer, while others further away, as they were less bright and smaller in size. What struck we was the flight patterns, it was illogical what these objects were doing. They would go slowly one direction, stop (or almost) and then loop around the other direction, as if it was me playing with a laser pointer in the sky. My iPhone allows me to take night photos. I was able to capture a scene with two of the objects streaking on a 5 second night shutter count. Somehow (before trying the intended attempt) while taking one of my iPhone pics of my yard, wh! ile reviewing the picture, I noticed this long white streak in the background of that photo. This photo was using a 25 second night mode shot, on a tripod. I have never seen objects like these ones before ... whatever they were.

(Note for investigators: I'm submitting this for someone else, the contact info I gave is my own as I'm not sure if they'd be okay with me giving out theirs, however, I do have their permission to submit this here. I hope that isn't an issue). At approximately 9:20pm on Saturday, April 4th of 2020, my aunt and uncle were outside, back behind their out-of-town house. After a few minutes, they noticed an orange, almost reddish light above the far treeline that they'd never seen before, and after observing it briefly my uncle pulled out his phone and began recording it (1). After watching it hover in place for a few minutes, they watched the object slowly move towards and subsequently disappear behind the treeline, before reappearing a few minutes later (about 10 minutes or so), this time in a slightly different spot. My uncle pulled out his phone and began recording again, and then passed the phone to my aunt so he could use his binoculars to get a closer look at the object (2). My aunt, unfortunately, ends up losing sight of the object with the camera about 57 seconds in, and they head down the driveway in an attempt at getting a better view of it - but it ends up disappearing again. The third video picks up once it appears for the third time, and my uncle gets a good look at it through his binoculars. He described it as a ball of orange light with a sort of yellow aura around it, and the light emanating from it seemed to be coming from the bottom of the object, and traveling up it. The object made no noise (though there is a highway located a bit far in the opposite direction, and the noises you hear occasionally are from passing cars). After watching the object sit still for about 3 minutes, it begins to move again (though hard to see as the camera is zoomed in, it happens at about 3:28), and then 12 seconds later at 3:40 in the video, it completely vanishes from the sky. My uncle observes it as it does so, and says that in its place was what looked to be a black orb, with a sort of "smoke" around it. The object made no noise that they could hear, and this is the only time that they've seen anything like it there (they've been living in that area for some years). I've been up there as well and haven't seen anything like it, either. Playlist of the videos: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnMLjJ5K18MbvTPmv7w2ZKkGR5bIUrKPt (1) First video: A short recording, taken about a minute or so after they initially noticed the object. (2) Second video: Taken a few minutes later, after they watched it move in and out of sight and reappear. Around the 57-second mark, my aunt accidentally moves the camera too much and lose s sight of the object for the remainder of the video. (3) Third video: Taken once the object reappeared for the third time, and towards the end of the video you see it slowly fade out before disappearing. (4) Fourth video: Though taken a few days later, my uncle shows the spot they were in during the filming of the third video, giving you a view of the treeline.

Welch, MN
Around 8:30pm, in the SW sky, an orange/red light approached like an aircraft but it did not have typical airplane lighting. It was rising in the sky but proceeding at the speed of a helicopter. I assumed it was a medical helicopter because it was relatively low as it approached and it was moving slower than a jet. So I opened the window to listen for the motor but it was silent. So I went outside with binoculars (one of my family members came with me so we could both try to figure out what it was and why it made no noise). It seemed to turn upward since the orange light started to fade away. But in fact, the lights just seemed to turn off, or it was ascending vertically, because then it just appeared as a black object in the sky. When I took the binocs down to try to sight it in the sky, I lost it. It was in my view for about 3-4 minutes. It approached from the direction of Cannon Falls and Northfield and was heading northeast toward Welch when it disappeared. Latitude: 44.588060 Longitude: -92.726870

Sitting in my Jacuzzi at 2 o’clock in the afternoon, staring at a mostly clear sky, I see very clearly a white golf ball shape object hurtling across the sky. I watch with a feeling of satisfaction as it disappears into the clouds forming above Mt. Haleakala (10,000 feet elevation) my first thought was perhaps a drone, but I do have a drone that flies 30 mph. This was very different. I would estimate that at speed it would cover horizon to horizon In about one minute. I was wearing my two week old polarized prescription sunglasses and saw very clearly a golf ball shaped object that was perhaps the size of a Volkswagen beetle about 1 to 2 miles up in the sky. It was hurtling in a straight line with purpose. I am a dedicated Skywatcher, and this is the fourth questionable object I have seen since 1976.

I saw something blinking up in the sky with multicolor lights. After watching for a minute I got curious so I grabbed the binoculars. It was a clear sphere shape outlined in many quick flashing colors; green, red, white. It hovered in the distance for quite a while. It went further into the distance, southwest direction. It’s not my first time seeing something like this. My wife saw this one too, she came to the window and watched it with me.

My brother and I were driving home from a long day of work. We live about 15 miles south of a small town down a gravel road. The drive home was fairly normal, as were listening to music on the radio and talking. About 10 miles into the drive my radio turned off and went to static. I didn't think anything of it because our roads are rough. We saw a bright light in the sky and though it may have just been a bright star. We decided to stop and look at the light. I said, "Wow, look at that star. Isn't it so bright?" He then said, "It looks like it's moving closer." We sat observed for about 10 seconds until it had gotten close enough to see the triangular, black/metallic sides of the craft. I would estimate that the craft was 1.5 miles away. The cows in the field in front of us were startled as they were mooing frantically. Once the craft had gotten close enough we decided to drive off very fast. I was driving about 60 MPH down the gravel road as the craft followed us 1 mile away to the East of us. The craft seemed to have moved along the buttes to the East only 150 feet above them and moving in a motion different than any other craft I have ever seen. When we got home, my brother ran inside and I decided to stay and observe. While I was looking across the road at a butte I could hear a low humming noise. Next, the craft hovered up from behind the butte to reveal itself. I decided to observe the craft and video it. I could see the triangular sides of the craft, and the bright lights on the side of it. The craft stayed hovering above the butte for around 20 seconds before slowly moving downward behind the butte. This isn't the first sighting in the area as we have had more experiences with many witnesses. My radio was working on my vehicle the next day.

My girlfriend and I were looking out into the city and in the corner of our eyes, we see a triangular aircraft with 2 cyan/green-blueish circular lights that appeared to be its thrusters. This only lasted for 1 to 2 seconds then it completely disappeared. We noticed that our porch lights went extremely dim as well when we first sighted it, but after the object had disappeared they returned to normal. We also noticed that there was a duck prior to the sighting that kept quacking. As soon as the object appeared, the duck stopped quacking for a bit, and when it disappeared, it started to quack again. It was like something out of a movie.

A friend of mine was sitting in his hot tub and texted me saying that there was a UFO in the eastern sky above the Wellsville mountain range. I went to my window and I saw a bright, white capsular shaped light that had bluish colored trailing tail lights. It was at least 3 or 4 times brighter and larger than any other light in the sky. It was moving from south to north directly above the Wellsvilles. It was slowly moving north and then stopped and then after a few seconds moved in a downward direction for a few seconds, stopped again for a few seconds and then started moving north again. I ran to get my wife to see it and when we got back to the window it had stopped in the sky at the north end of the mountain range. The shape had changed to a very, very large twinkling bright white star-like shape. It was still by far the brightest light in the sky. We sat at watched it for 20 minutes and during that time the light started to very slowly move north and the! light started to dim until it disappeared. My dog was sitting on the couch staring directly at the light the entire time we were. We were able to look at it through binoculars and there were purple, green, blue and red lights that were twinkling at the edges of the bright white light. My friend that watched it from about 10 miles west of us, which puts him at the base of the Wellsville mountain range, said that he observed 5 lights in a circle that morphed into 3 lights in a triangle then finally the 3 lights converged into one bright light.

While sitting in my car looking at the sky in a Westerly Direction, I observed what look like a shooting star, or a star that was moving in a easterly Direction, traveling at a moderate speed, that lasted about a minute, the unknown object then slow down, it appeared to adjust dissipated or vanished in the night sky. I took cell phone video footage of the object.

Lighted, triangular shaped object observed moving slowly in a easterly direction above Cincinnati, OH. Object was observed for a few minutes, approximately 3-5 minutes. As it moved across the night sky it slowed to a stop then vanished from sight. No known FAA planes were in the area near the observed object. Object was observed by two adult, competent, lucid, professional, males.

April 3, 2020 I was checking out the rising moon using a spotting scope at around 17:45 on 04/03/20. I have a Visionking 100X30-90 mounted on a tripod that faces East out my picture window toward Francis Peak in the Wasatch Mts. The moon had risen and I was looking at it using 30X when a strange object reflecting light floated in front of the moon and continue to drop toward the horizon at about a 10 or 15 degree angle. When I took my eye away from the scope I could not see it. I watched it drop toward the horizon for about 10 seconds. It was highly reflective. I tried to readjust my scope and then lost it. At first I thought it was a parachutist because it seemed to have something above it and something very reflective below. The moon was at a pretty high altitude, ~ 45 degrees above grade. I have been skydiving before and I cannot believe that someone could have been skydiving at such a high altitude. Another reason that I thought it was not a skydiver was how reflective it was. I have watched skydivers many times where they jump from the Ogden –Hinckley Airport and this was something very different. The object did float downward as if it was connected to a parachute, but that was the only similarity. I do not know what it was but it was very strange. It was not like anything I have ever seen in the sky before. Yours sincerely, JP

There are at least 4 that have been in the night sky not moving since November 2019. Some hv multiple colors blinking. Red/blue/Orange. Two are very bright white lights that move around the inside the sphere with many lines. I can’t believe there are no reports as they are always in the sky.

I was in are back yard at about 9PM moving a bicycle back to our storage room off the garage. It’s a nice dark spot and looking up I noticed I could see the stars really well and the moon was also almost directly overhead. So looking up at the moon and also scanning the western sky just for the heck of it- I happened to see what I at first thought was a passenger plane. I watched it for a second and thought it was interesting because I could not distinguish any flashing from the aviation lights. It also seemed to be travelling about double speed from a standard plane at cruising altitude. Even with that I just kept looking around at the stars and didn’t really think anything was that abnormal. Then, I noticed another one following the first light – in the exact same path and exact same speed. There was a good distance between them. At this point I had been staring up approximately 30 seconds. By the time the first light went out of view to my left (behind some large ! trees in our yard) I could see a third light coming into view from my right. Same path- same speed- same distance apart- same light brightness (about the same brightness as a medium star). So in my viewing field of the sky, I could see 3 of these lights at one time…..like a train here came two more and decided to run in the house to get the wife . She came out and was able to see the last 3 as the came by. The last one we watched as it was almost out of view to our left, my wife said it just vanished. I myself did not see it go out as I was looking to see if there were more coming. I could have sworn I saw a steak of light from that direction also. It was a super calm night – no jet noise could be heard. Maybe satellites? I don’t really think so, never seen any in train formation like that before.

We were standing outside and my daughter and I were looking at Venus when we both realized that there were hundreds of what we thought were stars at first but all of them were moving .We stood for over 30 minutes watching this. My Husband and hers were there and our 20 year old Son all watched this happen. Some were close and some were further away but were moving closer in. They were forming lines and circles . Some would backtrack from the lines and rotate their direction. There are still some in the sky as I'm typing this outside. Last night there was something that moved overhead and was huge but there was nothing seen other than the sound. It wasn't a sound of helicopter or jet or anything like that it had a very strange hum to it. The only other time that sound was heard was the night of the Wolf Blood Moon and we saw what appeared to be a triangle shaped craft with lights but it was like 5 football fields in size. And hovered then moved up and out a! nd disappeared quickly

Looking up I saw a extremely bright star in the West (slightly North) sky. I watched it for about 10 minutes and kept my eye on the three faint stars (2 above and 1 to the right) to check if it was moving, thinking it could be a possible plane, although I knew that the constant light and brightness wouldn't be a plane. I decided to take a video with commentary to post on my FB page to friends. That is the first video. The second and third are video after I honed in on it and finally enlarged the sphere to the phones maximum capacity. These video's are the result. It was approximately two hours of observation without the object moving at all (I kept the reference stars that were near in sight). I stepped into the house for about a 1/2 hour and when I went back out, it was gone. While I was watching there were 2 different planes in the vicinity flying by. The light was extremely bright and never changed throughout my observation. To the necked eye it looked li! ke a very big star with no pulsing at all. The pulsing (and some of the people that have viewed the video said it looked like it was rotating also), was not apparent until it was enlarged.

Was driving on the road and pulled over to look at the stars, looked up and noticed the stars were zig zagging and moving across the sky, I knew no plane helicopter or aircraft can move the way they did, some of them looked like they were coming and going, they all seemed spread out in some sort of grid, first time seeing something like this with my own eyes. tried to take a video but the night sky was just pure black because of my phone camera.

Went outside for a cigar on my patio. Looked up at the sky to see the stars. Saw two orange lights I know we're not stars hovering in place. Then both lights took off in an upward direction, then sharply turned away from each each other and disappeared.
